The film follows the rogue Lancelot's romance with Lady Guinevere of Leonesse, who is to marry King Arthur of Camelot. Ben Cross appears as the villain Malagant. The film is notable for its absence of magical elements (like Merlin and Morgan Le Fay), its drawing on the Arthurian material of Chrétien de Troyes rather than Thomas Malory's Le Morte D'Arthur for plot elements (Malagant appears in Chrétien's Lancelot, the Knight of the Cart) and the rather large age difference between Arthur and Guinevere.
